Good Morning,

I am preparing for post-op and am a little lost about how to choose protein powder/drinks. Do you have a favorite? I tend to shop a lot on Amazon. Thanks!!!

Thank you BigViffer! It says 100% whey but I will compare ingredients to others.

I just had to double check the costco website, manufacturers have several "recipes" for different products. The one on Costco website is this:

https://www.costco.com/Muscle-Milk-Light-Chocolate-Shakes-11-oz.%2c-18-pack.product.100282744.html

And the ingredients list no whey?!

Now I am not saying Muscle Milk never includes whey, because I know I've seen it before. If what you are seeing is like this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Muscle-Milk-Protein-Powder-Vanilla/dp/B0106ZJ4R8/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1498569079&sr=8-3&keywords=muscle%2Bmilk%2Bpowder%2B100%2Bwhey&th=1

Then yes that is a decent one. I don't care for the taste of muscle milk shakes, so I've never bought the powder. Can't give you any input there. My favorite is Gold Standard.

BigViffer, yes, I'm referring to the 100% Whey Powder (https://www.costco.com/Cytosport-100%-Whey-Protein-Powder%2c-6-pounds.product.100225865.html). I've never bought the shakes so I can't compare. Doing a little reading this morning, though, I note that Gold Standard offers both a blend of isolate and concentrate, like the product I'm using, but also a 100% Isolate that I think I'm going to give a whirl. Also available at Costco and you can't beat Costco prices!

I appreciate the feedback!
